Greetings;
I just upgraded Open Office from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 (yes, I'm behind).
Now, I can't use any of the fonts other than the ones which come with
Open Office. All my existing fonts which I added were being substituted
with other fonts.
Have you tried deleting ~/ooo-2.0/user/psprint/pspfontcache and then
restarting OOO?
It's been a while since I fooled around with OOO fonts, so my memory
is fuzzy. I seem to have convinced OOO to pick up 2745 fonts, judging
from the length of pspfontcache. (More than ~3000 fonts and the
startup times become unbearably long.)
I converted all my OpenType fonts to TrueType with the following script:
#! /bin/env fontforge
# Quick and dirty hack: converts a font to truetype (.ttf), works only
# with one font.
# Use in a bash loop like this:
# for font in *.otf ; do
# fontforge -script otf2ttf $font
# done
#
Print("Opening "+$1);
Open($1);
Print("Saving "+$1:r+".ttf");
Generate($1:r+".ttf");
Quit(0);
I believe that this script works with Type 1 (PostScript) fonts as
well, despite what the comments say. (You'll have to change bash loop,
though to pick up *.pfb or *.pfa??? files.)
Hope this helps...
